Stuck on the side of I-95 because my 2014 Focus transmission gave out at 60,000 miles
Last summer I was driving from Richmond to visit my sister in Philly. The car started shuddering around exit 98, then just lost all power. Turned out to be the dual clutch actuator. Ford knew about this but didn't call it a recall. I ended up paying $1,200 at a shop near Fredericksburg to get it patched up enough to make it home. Has anyone else dealt with those PowerShift transmissions or found a permanent fix?

My 2012 Focus needed the TCM replaced at 55k miles, that fixed the shuddering for me.

55k miles and already needing a TCM replacement? Man, that is wild. I thought my car was bad but that takes the cake. Did it start shuddering right from the get go or did it take a few years to show up? I bet that was a fun bill to get hit with.
